Aim: Consider whether the collapse of British authority in the thirteen rebellious colonies might have been avoided through compromise measures and more astute leadership. Was colonial independence inevitable, and was war the only way to achieve it?

Objectives: 

1. WXT 2.0

Agenda:

AN EMPIRE TRANSFORMED

1. The Costs of Empire (WXT)

2. J25 / A: The Great War for Empire fundamentally changed the relationship between Britain and its American colonies because the war exposed the weak authority of British royal governors and officials. To assert their authority, the British began a strict enforcement of the Navigation Acts and a succession of taxes to help pay for the war. The Great War thus left colonists in debt with a more intrusive government.

6.

7. J26 / A: British officials insisted on the supremacy of parliamentary laws and denied that colonists were entitled to even the traditional legal rights of Englishmen, claiming that the right of no taxation without representation was confined to inhabitants of Great Britain only. Americans, as colonists, were seen as second-class subjects of the king. 

*Quartering Acts (POL, WXT, WOR)

8. Women and enslaved Americans challenged white, property-holding men to acknowledge their rights under the nascent democracy. In this climate, movements for religious freedom, gender equality, and emancipation emerged.
